The mission of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation is to foster through its living-history museums – Jamestown Settlement and American Revolution Museum at Yorktown – an awareness and understanding of the early history, settlement and development of the United States through the convergence of American Indian, European and African cultures and the enduring legacies bequeathed to the nation.

Are you passionate about education and communicating the importance of history to our lives today? If so, we’d love for you to work with us.
